In reading the P sections of RSP lately, I've been astounded at how informed our non-American members are about our political system, candidates, and situations. It got me thinking about worldview, and how all the cultures of the world do or don't think about the rest of the world. So here's a version of that dinner party topic. If you could meet any 3 people, alive or dead, who would they be, and why?
Assume that there are no barriers (language, cultural, physical, temporal, etc.) to communication. Anybody, no restrictions, other than they need to be or have been real. I might start another thread for fictional characters.
Edit: Added second paragraph.
